  • Patent number: 10968437
    Abstract: Factors For the Production and Accumulation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) Derived from PUFA Synthases Abstract Disclosed are novel enhancing factor proteins of the PUFA synthase systems, nucleic acid molecules encoding the same, recombinant nucleic acid molecules and recombinant host cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules, genetically modified microorganisms comprising the same, and methods of making and using the same. Also disclosed are genetically modified microorganisms that have been genetically modified to express a PUFA synthase system for the production of PUFAs, wherein the microorganisms have been modified to express the novel enhancing factor proteins of the PUFA synthase system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 6, 2021
    Assignee: DSM IP Assets B.V.

  • Patent number: 9597780
    Abstract: A clamp head including an arched body having upper and lower faces, and opposing unequal length arms. The body further has a through aperture for a bolt or like threaded fastener extending between the upper and lower faces, the through aperture tapering outwardly through the body in the direction of the lower face. The arms comprise a reaction arm having at its distal end a curved reaction face and a clamping arm having at its distal end a curved clamping face. The curved reaction face has a first edge that is proximal to the reaction face and a second edge that is distal to the reaction face, wherein the radius of curvature of the reaction face increases in the direction of the second edge.
